ESPN's nationally syndicated "Mike & Mike" Show is coming to St. Louis for Cardinal's Home Opener

101 ESPN – the #1 source for Sports Radio in St. Louis – announce that the nationally-syndicated “Mike & Mike in the Morning” Show will be broadcasting LIVE on both radio and television from St. Louis for the Cardinals Home Opener on Friday morning, April 13, 2012.

The special edition of the “Mike & Mike” Show, featuring hosts Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg, will take place from the Batter’s Eye club area at Busch Stadium, beginning at 5:00 am.

The decision to host the “Mike & Mike” Show from Busch Stadium, to coincide with the St. Louis Cardinals Home Opener, was made to honor the 2011 World Series Champions.

Hubbard Radio’s Vice President and St. Louis Market Manager John Kijowski notes, “Because they are very selective about where they take their show on the road, 101 ESPN and Hubbard St. Louis Radio are thrilled to be able to host the ‘Mike & Mike’ Show in honor of this year’s Cardinals Home Opener.”

This will be the second “Mike and Mike in the Morning” LIVE broadcast on 101 ESPN – the last time the popular Cable TV and Radio sports show broadcast from St. Louis was during the 2009 All-Star Game.

ESPN’s Mike Golic notes, “We are really looking forward to opening the St. Louis Cardinal’s season                    in such a great baseball city.” On-air partner Mike Greenberg agrees, commenting, “We’re glad to be coming back to St. Louis, and for the opportunity to mix it up with some of the best fans in baseball!”

101 ESPN will be holding a listener contest in conjunction with the special “Mike & Mike” broadcast,           so that local fans can be a part of the television and radio broadcast. This intimate broadcast is not open to the public; however, five lucky 101 ESPN listeners can win a pair of VIP passes to attend this event by entering to win at 101sports.com.

According to 101 ESPN Program Director Kent Sterling, “This is a spectacular one-of-a-kind experience for fans of ‘Mike & Mike’, to watch the show as it’s produced.”

Sterling adds, “What 101 ESPN does best is providing people access to information, perspective, and fun.  Watching ‘Mike & Mike’ in person should give winners plenty of all three.”                                                                                                                                                                   

The Cardinals Home Opener edition of the “Mike & Mike” Show on 101 ESPN is presented by Budweiser, American Standard Heating & Cooling and MERS Goodwill.
